Hmm, I guess You want advice me, to bought some strictly limited (maybe
commercial) OS - and then shut up and be satisfied with I have. But this
fortunately is not Linux case...
Regarding cgroups/btrfs/selinux - they may be used independently of
systemd. And although I think SELinux is good thing and I use it
(regardless of systemd), things as cgroups and btrfs I never needed
(regardless of systemd). And I not want to 'play' with, I want to
foolproof system - and in my experience, systemd does not fall with
(after 4+ years of 'playing').
